NOTES:
a) Installers may choose to furnish the control switch. The installation requires that the power line
(+12VDC) be attached to a dedicated 2A circuit breaker or a 2A in-line fuse must be installed
between the switch and power source. For easy access, locate the fuse close to the switch.
b) Per RVIA Low Voltage Systems in Conversion and Recreation Vehicles Chapter 3, Section 3-1: For
Carefree LED strip lighting near the awning rail: when the 24AWG power harness is spliced or
connected 10" or less from the harness connector using a heavier gauge wire, the fuse size is
determined by the heavier wire gauge.

1. Determine the location of the switch.
2. At the switch location, cut a 1 1/8" x 1 1/2" hole.
3. Wire the switch as shown below. Wire terminals at the switch are .187, 18-24 awg female disconnects.
NOTE: Allow adequate slack in the 12VDC power line so that the in-line fuse (installed in step 4) can be
accessed from behind the switch.
4. Install the in-line fuse:
4.1. Near the switch, cut the red 12VDC power line to the switch. Do not strip the insulation.
4.2. Insert a wire end into one of the wire channels until it butts up against the stop.
4.3. Fold that half of the connector body over until the element contacts the wire. Use pliers to crimp
the connector closed.
4.4. Repeat for the second wire end.
4.5. Slide the fuse into the fuse port. Ensure that it is firmly seated.
5. Press the in-line fuse, wires and switch into the mounting hole. Secure the switch using two (2) #6 x
1/2" screws.
6. Snap the switch bezel over the switch frame.
